I really enjoy this place. It's always a good time, with a great juke box and surprisingly skilled bartenders for what most would consider a dive bar. If you like bloody marys, I'd recommend them. This is an excellent place to meet up with people to chat, and it's usually pretty low key. I think all neighborhood bar owners should have to visit here to see what they should be doing. The crowd is usually so varied that people watching is excellent and it's never so loud that you need to shout. It can get incredibly smoky towards the end of the night, almost uncomfortably so, but it suits the atmosphere.
